WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Don’t just take our word for it.
Results speak louder than promises. We’ve had the privilege of partnering with visionaries, disruptors, and industry leaders who were ready to step into their power. Here is what happens when you commit to the process.
Black Ink PR has exceeded every expectation we had coming in. What sets them apart is how proactive they are — they don’t wait to be told what to do; they bring ideas, energy, and real expertise to the table. Our brand has never looked or felt stronger, and that’s a direct result of their work. If you’re looking for a marketing team that’s genuinely invested in your success, these are your people.
We met with several marketing firms and went with Black Ink Public Relations & Marketing because Margot had a better understanding of our business and what our goals are. They were pricier than the others, but in my experience you get what you pay for. Since we brought them aboard they have helped us define our product and clarify our communication strategies to inform and educate our customers. Through their marketing campaigns we have seen an increase in interest by over 300%
“For years I’d heard tales of the entertaining, efficient and effective Black Ink PR. They exceeded my expectations in all three areas during a recent Black Ink PR-organized media tour. The interest and coverage of my destination was immediate and impressive via radio, in print and online. Their introduction to top-tier travel writers, broadcasters and publication editors was invaluable. These contacts continue to bear fruit as we further nurture our relationship with them. Thank you so much Black Ink PR!”
Working with Black Ink PR has been a genuine game-changer for Colori Salon. They overhauled our website, sharpened our copywriting, and took our social media to a level we couldn’t have managed on our own. The difference in how our brand shows up — online and in person — has been remarkable. I wholeheartedly recommend them to any business owner looking for a team that actually delivers.
